UE40F6400 EAC3 Media Not Playing/Errors
I've been a long time user of Serviio and it served me well without any hassle, but this time I'm stumped and need your help:
I have an UE40F6400 on which I play my files and everything went well until the new EAC3 encoding that Netflix uses. The scenario is that I have multiple identically encoded files (from a new series I'm watching), but while the first one plays fine, (TV INFO: File Format: video/x-mkv, Audio Codec: Dolby Digital+, Video Codec: H264), which I presume is Direct Play with no transcoding, the second file doesn't play at all (The selected file is not currently supported). This type of hit or miss happens throughout the file collection, and I have no idea why. Tried another separate file that has the same audio encoding and again, error.
I thought it must be something with the EAC3 audio encoding and tried to add to the 'Samsung TV / player (E/F-series)' profile section the <Matches container="*" aCodec="eac3" /> line that I found around the forums when talking about EAC3. This makes the files play, but they get transcoded to mpeg, the timeline jumps to 500 hours or so and there are no subtitles anymore. Also, I kept the 'Audio channels' setting in the console to 'Keep original'.
If someone can help me understand where the problem lies I would be most grateful.
Thank you very much and have a Happy New Year!
